Westfall v. State

A jury found appellant guilty of intentional or knowing injury to a child. Tex. Pen.Code Ann. § 22.04 (1989). The district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for thirty years.

In his only point of error, appellant contends the district court erred by overruling his objection to the jury charge. Those portions of the charge relevant to this ground of error are as follows:

I

A person commits the offense of Serious Bodily Injury To A Child if he intentionally or knowingly engages in conduct that causes serious bodily injury to a child who is fourteen (14) years of age or younger.
